Grand Gateway Shanghai is an office complex consisting of two skyscrapers in the Xujiahui area of Shanghai, China. The twin buildings were completed in 2005. Each tower is 262 m high and has 52 stories.

Construction of the towers was halted in 1997 due to the Asian financial crisis and too much Shanghai office space. However, in 2002, construction recommenced and the tower was completed in 2005.

The tower is the 71st tallest existing building in the world when measured up to the highest architectural point which is the top of the dome. The height of the roof is 224.9 metres.

The Grand Gateway shopping mall is located at the base of the towers.

A second office complex called Grand Gateway Garden consists of two smaller towers, each 100 m high.
